Gosh, seriously thank you! I have tried to understand for seriously a couple years now and I couldn't wrap my mind around what a kernel actually is and kept reading conflicting statements. This was clear, concise, and just clicked. Thanks
Thank you! I made this video especially because I was so frustrated at how I couldn't understand kernels clearly in the beginning. After reading into it and focusing on my understanding, it finally clicked, and I made this video.
Kernel compilation video and gentoo stuff ? sign me up :eyes: This channel is too underated, what i love the most are the quick explainations, the video just seamlessly flows together, unlike some more precise and "professional" content. Keep it up :)
@@FLMKane Always an experience when you need some physical money, you drive to the house bank, go to the ATM and you are greetet with a System32 style input. We had another bank in the next city but guess what ATM was usually broken too.
This was actually a really great video. Thanks for actually demonstrating a simple and observable modprobe command. That gagged me a little bit lol bc I swear ppl make Linux seem as though it’s incomprehensible but maybe they don’t even fully understand it 🤷🏽♀️ Anywho, thank you!!
Was a good basic explanation, but to do the actual programming, this crowd will need to learn how to program in C to fully understand the how. Loading and unloading kernel modules is what most standard Linux system administrators will be required to understand and know how to do.
You've got a bit of a weird video going on here - you're addressing the audience as if they were developers, but most developers would know the rudimentaries of an OS. I came here, really to see what the differences are between it and other OSs . Still interesting to me, but you might lose non-techies along the way.
@Watcher No. I do not care about them. If they want to use Linux, they will use it without struggling with "Linux", "GNU" or "GNU/Linux". I do not care too much about random people.
I agree, this is an over-simplification. Put simply, Linux as a kernel is more modern and more frequently updated piece of software compared to something like the NT kernel used in Windows. It also doesn't have as much legacy baggage, and it's open to improvements in both speed and compatibility to the public.
Plus, kernel devs have a mindset of “if a kernel change breaks someone’s software, then it’s our fault.” What you get is something that’s compatible with older hardware, and this makes its performance very good.
@@mantacid1221I'm sorry but that comment is silly does not make any sense. Strong backward compatibility, which is definitely not exclusive to Linux, has nothing to do with good performance. It can be quite the contrary in fact, since you can be blocked from making changes that could improve performance in fear of making a breaking change.

Great job! That’s what I needed. Quick and simple explanation 🙏
Best video explanation on the kernel
IDK how it is at your place but ATMs in germany do usually use Windows and it is quite common to see them bluescreen or in headless mode.
Yeah those are older ATMs running Windows CE usually. Some ancient ones I saw in a strip club looked like they ran os2

Nice video! I am looking forward to seeing the kernel compilation and Gentoo video!

its very concise and clear
Wow! It is quite powerful. 😮
thanks for that simple explanation :D
subscribed! looking forward for more tutorials, and explanations
these negatives are entirely easily avoidable... the goat kernel
Good video.
God I love this channel
I want to compile my own kernel
I'm interested since I was 17 (2018)
can you provide any articles or links which I can use to learn
Linux From Scratch (LFS) and Gentoo are very nice projects for thar.
With Gentoo you can get to create your own custom kernel, compile it, and use it.
when the kernel breaks something like the wifi. can that be fixed ?
In what way would the kernel "break the wifi"? What are you trying to ask?
ive used mint does that count ?

It is version 6.6.6 now.

It linux not gnu/linux
Sometimes you just.. oh n-🐧
Incorrect a kernal is what gets stuck in your teeth after you eat popcorn.
Only thing u r saying is that linux is customisable, where is the explanation
a bunch of nerds with opinions on mailing lists?
Linux is kernel into itself so u dont have to place ”Kernel” after ”Linux”
@Watcher No one said newbies need to understand this.
@Watcher No. I do not care about them. If they want to use Linux, they will use it without struggling with "Linux", "GNU" or "GNU/Linux". I do not care too much about random people.
@Watcher I care about myself and my family, not about Linux community.
Such an attractive discussion
You kinda do. There are multiple Kernels out their in the world.
Linux system is used in a toaster, really ?
Yeah. Why reinvent the wheel when you can base software on a kernel like Linux?
"The reason linux is so fast, is since it is free and open-source." Really? I am okay with simplification but this is misleading.
